Answer:
Four measures on how to help some hunting-gathering tribes of Nepal from extinction are to include them in any development plans, to incorporate their practices and traditions in the education system so that people will be aware of such tribes and the importance to respect other customs, the provision of a safe space for them to continue their practices and also the inclusion of these tribes in the government schemes/ plans.
Explanation:
The basis of hunting-gathering is an age-old tradition that can be found in various parts of the world. But of late, this practice has dwindled and most communities have incorporated and even 'moved' to the western styles of life.
While the basic concept of hunting-gathering is all about man's dependence on nature and its products for his survival, it is also a huge issue that has somehow come in conflict with 'modernity'. This is also the case with some tribes such as the Raute of Nepal who is still living this life. And with the rise in modernity and western culture, it is no surprise to see them dwindle and even on the verge of extinction. So, four measures that can help save such tries from becoming extinct is-
1. The<u> promotion of better infrastructure and development plans for these tribes so as not to leave them dry and alone</u>. If such plans are made, then they can also have a safety net within which they can continue surviving and not be deemed a threat to the development of the nation.
2. <u>Allocation of some forest space for them so that they can easily maintain and preserve their traditions</u> while still be safe from any foreign intrusion. This will also provide them a safe space to maintain their lifestyle while also not disturbing or be a nuisance to 'outsiders'.
3. Every culture and community have the right to practice and preserve their heritage and traditions. So, even if there is a need for development, these communities also need or have the right to be allowed to keep their lifestyle. So, <u>any development plan that the government might suggest should also think about their interest and incorporate plans in such a way that they are not discriminated against.
</u>
4. Inclusion of these communities in any plan and respecting their ways, thus the <u>inclusion of such tribes and their ways into the education systems/ syllabus will allow people to learn and know more about such tribes.</u> Then, this will help in spreading awareness and respect for one another and help save or preserve their traditions while at the same time, making outsiders aware of these tribes.
